Nelly Furtado August Search Queries
Searches for Nelly Furtado were quite high in August as the correct spelling of her name was searched 47,957 times on Goto.com.

The second most popular query was ‘Nelly Furtado lyric’ which is usually typical of a male artist search trend. It appears many had trouble with the singer’s last name as 1,431 people did a gaseous ‘Nelly Fartado’ search.
